day 12: a song from a band you hate



I'm not a Paul McCartney fan; his style is too pop for my taste and manipulative (he knows he's tugging at your heart). However, when someone played Macca's eponymous first solo album -- on vinyl! -- it came across as genuine. I later discovered that McCartney played all the instruments on McCartney, which gives it a rawness his other albums lack. If you need more proof that McCartney is more than just fluff, listen to the original version of "Maybe I'm Amazed"; I'm in love with the scratchy quality of his voice and instruments.
